P&P Lesson 5 - Jay Payne - Cereal Box (Experimentation)

I have drawn up a couple of front and back cover visuals using 'Tortoise Shells' as my chosen theme. I have added game ideas, facts and cut-outs.




This is the colour scheme I am going to be using in Adobe Illustrator to create my cereal box. I selected these colours because they're all varying colours that you find in the jungle.




To start off, I made a background for the front and back of the box. I didn't want the background to be a solid edge-to-edge colour so I thought about what kind of flat things are found in the jungle and came up with a leaf, a rock and a tree stump but all of these left too much white space so I thought about jungle films. In jungle films, they always have some kind of beaten up map so I drew the outline of an old map.


After looking back at my research, I created an ingredients table. After a good hour of work, it looked very authentic and I was pretty happy with it.


I wanted to include a game on my cereal box, what child doesn't like a game? It is something stimulating to do whilst eating breakfast, this helps them to wake up and prepare for the day.



Educating children is the most important thing in the world as they are our future so why not start on the back of a cereal box. One line per fact isn't smothering children with information, it is just enough for them to remember the fact.
